Editor reviews

iMinds has helpfully divided its audio encyclopedia into broad categories like Arts, History, Pop Culture, etc., so listeners know how the content of each eight-minute learning segment will be oriented. In this volume of Specialist, the learning company has selected topics that fall under the topical umbrella of Science & Nature. The entrancing male and female narrators on these tracks explore such celestial phenomena as meteorites and the Aurora Borealis, as well as more Earth-bound topics such as evolution and wind power. Each listener-friendly segment is brief (around eight minutes), potent, and penetrating due to the iMinds company's unbeatable formula of careful research and superb production value.
